【台本/Script】
こんにちは。今日は8月4日日曜日です。「5分でわかる日本語」ポッドキャストへようこそ。私は日本語の先生、みわです。今日は、夏にぴったりなおいしい食べ物、「ひやむぎ」と「そうめん」についてお話しします。

みなさんは、「ひやむぎ」と「そうめん」を知っていますか？まず、「ひやむぎ」について説明します。「ひやむぎ」は、うどんより細い食べ物です。ラーメンとは違います。ひやむぎは白くて細い食べ物で、夏に冷たくして食べるととてもおいしいです。

次に、「そうめん」について説明します。「そうめん」は、ひやむぎよりもっと細い食べ物です。そうめんは、とても細くて、暑い夏の日にも食べやすいのが特徴です。

どちらも、夏にぴったりな食べ物です。暑い日は、食欲がなくなりますね。ごはんを食べたくなくなります。そんな暑い夏の日に食べるととてもおいしいです。冷たいひやむぎやそうめんを食べると、とても体が涼しくなります。

しかも、作り方も簡単です。ここで、ひやむぎとそうめんの作り方を見てみましょう。ひやむぎの作り方もそうめんの作り方もほとんど同じです。

	1.	ひやむぎまたはそうめんを茹でる
	•	大きな鍋にたっぷりの水を入れて沸かします。
	•	お湯になったら、ひやむぎまたはそうめんを入れます。そして、決められた時間茹でます。「茹でる」とは、物をお湯に入れて熱くすることです。
	2.	冷たい水で冷たくする　
	　•	茹でたひやむぎを鍋から出して、冷たい水でよく洗います。
　　　•	しっかり洗いましょう。しっかり洗うと、もっとおいしくなります。
  　3.　	お皿にのせる
	•	冷やしたひやむぎ、そうめんを皿の上におきます。
	•	きゅうりやトマトなどの野菜や肉を加えると体にもいいですね。これで完成です。
ひやむぎとそうめんの作り方で違うのは、茹でる時間です。そうめんの方が細いので、そうめんの方が茹でる時間が短いです。

食べ方も簡単です。冷たいつゆにつけて食べます。つゆは、醤油から作られたものです。

今、夏なので、私もよくひやむぎやそうめんを食べています。暑い日には、冷たい食べ物がとてもおいしいです。皆さんも、ぜひひやむぎやそうめんを作ってみてください。

ここで、皆さんに問題です。「ひやむぎ」と「そうめん」の違いは何ですか？
	1.	色
	2.	太さ
	3.	味
正解は「2. 太さ」です。実は、作り方も違うのですが、大きく違うところは太さです。

今日のポッドキャストはここまでです。「ひやむぎ」と「そうめん」について、楽しんでいただけましたか？これからも日本語の勉強を続けて、いろいろな言葉や表現を覚えてくださいね。質問やリクエストがあれば、コメントやメッセージで教えてください。
それでは、また明日もお会いしましょう。またね！

Global professionals often face unique challenges, including increased workload, rapid change, and cultural differences. To thrive in this complex environment, upskilling is paramount.

Understanding Workplace Overwhelm
Overwhelm is often linked to factors like unclear expectations, excessive workload, and lack of support. Global professionals may experience additional stress due to time zone differences, cultural nuances, and virtual collaboration challenges. Recognizing the signs of overwhelm - burnout, decreased productivity, and declining job satisfaction - is crucial.

The Role of Upskilling
Upskilling is essential for managing overwhelm and advancing careers. By acquiring new skills, professionals can increase efficiency, take on more complex tasks, and adapt to changing demands. Focus on skills that align with organizational goals and future industry trends.

Prioritizing Upskilling
Identify skill gaps through self-assessment and feedback. Prioritize learning areas that directly address workload challenges. Consider microlearning for quick skill acquisition.

Creating a Supportive Environment
Effective time management, delegation, and setting boundaries are crucial. Open communication with managers about workload is essential. Seek support from colleagues or mentors.

Balancing Work and Life
Global professionals often face unique work-life challenges. Prioritize well-being through physical activity, mindfulness, and sufficient rest. Set clear boundaries between work and personal life.

Leveraging Technology
Utilize productivity tools to streamline tasks. Explore automation options to reduce manual work. Leverage collaboration platforms for efficient teamwork.

By understanding the root causes of overwhelm and prioritizing upskilling, global professionals can enhance their resilience, career progression, and overall job satisfaction.

中学生時代の部活動

私は中学生の時、陸上部（りくじょう　ぶ）に所属（しょぞく）していた。入った理由は、私がクラスの女子の中で足が一番速く、友達に誘（さそ）われたからだ。練習を始めた種目（しゅもく）は、中距離（ちゅうきょり）の1500m走だ。
毎日放課後はトレーニングで6～10km（キロメートル）走り、土日も部活動に励（はげ）んでいた。足の爪（つめ）がよく内出血（ない　しゅっけつ）していたほどだ。いつも部活が終わるのは18時ごろで毎日ヘトヘトだったが、帰宅途中に友達とコロッケを買い食（ぐ）いするのが至福（しふく）のひと時だった。
